[QUOTE]NEW YORK (AP) -- Hostess is betting on a sweet comeback for Twinkies when they return to shelves next month.The company that went bankrupt after an acrimonious fight with its unionized workers last year is back up and running under new owners and a leaner structure. It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15. Based on the outpouring of nostalgia sparked by its demise, Hostess is expecting a blockbuster return next month for Twinkies and other sugary treats, such as CupCakes and Donettes. The company says the cakes will taste the same but that the boxes will now bare the tag line "The Sweetest Comeback In The History Of Ever."[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.mercurynews.com/food-wine/ci_23522611/hostess-twinkies-return-shelves-july-15"]Tasty Source[/URL]
Suddenly an embarrassingly large number of people feel incredibly stupid about their stockpiles of golden immortal dong-cakes.
Fuck Hostess, because of them, Columbo went down and they had some mothafuckin great bread
not only was this a shitty marketing practice, but it was clearly obvious that it would come back eventually

[QUOTE=General J;41356129]not only was this a shitty marketing practice, but it was clearly obvious that it would come back eventually[/QUOTE] going bankrupt was a marketing move? Now I can see why they went bankrupt
Never tried twinkies because they don't sell them in my country. Am I missing much?

I came here for an awesome insult, disappointing OP.
[quote] It says it plans to have Twinkies and other snack cakes back on shelves starting July 15.[/quote] I hope they reopen my hostess outlet store!
[QUOTE=General J;41356129]not only was this a shitty marketing practice, but it was clearly obvious that it would come back eventually[/QUOTE] I don't see how going bankrupt is a marketing decision. [editline]8th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Desuh;41356297]Never tried twinkies because they don't sell them in my country. Am I missing much?[/QUOTE] It's sponge cake with a vanilla buttercream filling. it's not bad but the buttercream they use is actually just vegetable shortening instead of real butter so it's not great
[QUOTE=Desuh;41356297]Never tried twinkies because they don't sell them in my country. Am I missing much?[/QUOTE] not really. if you want, make homemade twinkies. they are easy as shit to make, you can probably find a million different ways by just searching on youtube. and the homemade ones will probably taste like twenty times better than the storebought ones since you aren't cutting corners on ingredients and the twinkies will be incredibly fresh.
[QUOTE=ThePutty;41356358]LOL THATS FUNNY BECUZ ITS A SEX JOKE!!!!!![/QUOTE] Wow, dude, I was just pointing out a funny coincidence.
I thought this was about someone actually giving a good comeback in an argument or somethin.
[QUOTE=General J;41356129]not only was this a shitty marketing practice, but it was clearly obvious that it would come back eventually[/QUOTE] It was all a political stunt turned marketing stunt. "[I]Oh, woe is me, I cannot keep my factory open because the big bad [U]unions [/U]are bleedin' me dry. I guess I'll have to shut 'er down and fire the workers, an' that means no more twinkies. If only those darn [U]unions [/U]didn't bring their corrupt greed into our fair company, this never woulda happened"[/I].
